[A] stunning, audacious, urgent thriller, as challenging as it is terrifying, as brave as it is brutal... It will shock you, horrify you, unsettle you, and that's exactly the point. It lets nothing and nobody off the hook
Delilloesque -- moody, threatening, and profoundly dark... A story about ghosts, about grievances leaking through the fabric of decades, and about retribution, violence and hatred. At every turn, Kunzru's words concoct a dreamlike world where the past isn't dead and the boundaries of reality flicker at the margins.
Haunting, doom-drenched, genuinely and viscerally disturbing... Kunzru showcases histrademark exhilarating prosethroughout - closing with a conclusion that packs a real punch
Like Donna Tartt'sThe Goldfinch...A stunning novel of ideas that becomes a page-turning thriller... During Trump's presidency, readingWhite Tearsfeels like a necessary and exhilarating act
A disorientating odyssey through decades of American history...Kunzru has always been an assured and intellectually gifted novelist, but I am not sure he has ever before displaying such emotional heft
Visceral horror, pacey storytelling and razor tautness.White Tearsis a state-of-the-nation novel that ties pre-Civil Rights barbarism with a contemporary amnesia that parades as post racial America
Graceful [and] exquisitely attuned
Exquisite... captures a yearning achieved fleetingly in life and more fully in art
At its heart is a serious reminder of how too often history robs the powerless of their voices
Think of it as a socially-awareGoosebumpsbook for grown-ups
What begins as dude-bro send-up soon spirals into a supernatural revenge fantasy keyed to America's history of racism
A captivating satire about race and music
Both like a radical revenge fantasia and a stern lesson in radical empathy
Kunzru's awareness and discernment have particular value in an America of the moment where nothing less than the country's meaning is at stake... unmoored between the heart that's felt it and the tip of the tongue that awaits the heart's transmission, in search of a promise that's determined to keep itself
A witty, strange and often very moving book
Deep themes on the nature of memory, race and authenticity
A brave book and often very funny
[An] excellent ghost story... A mesmerising tale of white guilt and black oppression in America
A nightmarish page-turner... A disorientating odyssey through American history and a lesson in what happens when art is hijacked for less than noble aims
This rich novel embraces the Deep South, a murder and a wealthy family's dark secret, while riffing on art and authenticity
Full of verve and rhythm,White Tearscleverly skewers ideas about angst surrounding white appropriation of black music
A fast-paced, ambitious, hallucinatory mystery
Publisher's description. Electrifying, subversive and wildly original,White Tearsis a ghost story and a love story, a story about lost innocence and historical guilt. This unmissable novel penetrates the heart of a nation's darkness, encountering a suppressed history of greed, envy, revenge and exploitation, and holding a mirror up to the true nature of America today.
Compulsively readable, masterly - a tour de force
Riveting from the very first page, I was completely addicted... A literary thriller and a timely, unsparing excavation of the very real spectre of race in America's past and present.White Tearsis proof that Kunzru is one of the finest novelists of his generation...
Hari Kunzru is an incredibly versatile writer who is alert to the inequalities in the world... Powerful and complex,White Tearsis a novel about abuses of wealth and power.Brilliantly orchestrated, unforgettable and devastating
Hari Kunzru is one of our most important novelists
Kunzru's engagingly wired prose and agile plotting sweep all before them
Marvellous, original and intelligent. Kunzru writes like a master storyteller... There's simply nothing [he] couldn't manage in prose
